I’ve been wondering if this sort of thing has become more common since the start of the pandemic.

That’s how I’d like to go - quietly sitting in a chair. (The dying alone bit and no one finding my body for several years is a given.)

There’s a lot more of us in that club than we think, I think.

Now that my electricity, water, phone, and Netflix are paid by automatic deduction, I can see myself breaking that record.

That’s beautiful.
Despite the creepy way she was found, a la Hitchcock’s “Psycho.”

This concept came up last week with a friend: how long would you have to stop responding to attempts to contact you before someone would enter your home to look for you?
I call it the Golik Number, in honor of the person featured in this (possibly apocryphal/exaggerated) story that made the rounds a few years back:

Poor Hedviga Golik has a Golik Number of 42 years. I suspect mine would be about 3 days.

I will have to listen later.
There is a mummy of sorts in Lucas, Kansas. Some guy began making all of these concrete structures and created “The Garden of Eden”. Rather interesting example of outsider folk art.
I believe when he died he had himself put in a mausoleum with a glass wall. The details are a bit murky for me, and their official site doesn’t mention it. It is possible they finally moved him to a more traditional burial. But for sure when we went, there was a mummy.
